This place is only for certifications and no real world uses of things. Nora book is garage and doesn't teach what the oil exam is about. Eric is a great teacher tho.

Was never the best student in grade school so I was nervous about re-entering a classroom atmosphere. It didn't take long for my fears to be forgotten! Loved going to shop and the teachers were some of the best I've ever had! Would highly recommend. They were very communicative and understanding for all my wants and needs. So grateful I chose this path and am starting my first job in the HVAC industry this week!

I got my CDL with NTIs help! They were great to me and made the process very simple and easy. I did classes both online and in person at the yard. The trainers were great. Bill was the one who's encouragement and style worked best for me. Rob is also a great trainer! I got my CDL class A on the first try with all endorsements. There is multiple trainers you will learn different helpful tips from each one.
The environment is pretty stress free and organized. They adhere to Covid guidelines. I recommend NTI to anyone interested in getting their CDL. NTI works well with VA affiliates. It was a female friendly environment. Contact Pam to sign up, that's what I did and it changed my life for the better! I am so happy I chose NTI for my dream career of being a truck driver! I got multiple job offers the week of obtaining my CDL. If you work for it NTI will make sure you get it.

NTI is really great, they work with you at your speed. It took me longer then I wanted to graduate but I did. I am a amputee and I did the CMA course and I couldn't be more happier that I took choose that one. This is one of my biggest accomplishments besides walking again. Thank you to all the staff that took the time to help me succeed so I can be successful.

Every place has its Pros and Cons this place does have Cons but not to many to mention, but the highlight for me was the instructors and staff. I went through the CDL program and the guys are great with making sure you are ready for your career and make sure you get quality training as long as you put in the effort to complete the program. And the ladies in the offices are always helpful and professional I really didn't have a bad time while enrolled and I thank them for all they have done for me.
